Several weeks later I received a surprising inquiry about In Motion fromRayna. She was in the process of writing another book and wanted to include a photo of my quilt. The request took me by surprise. I was

over-the-top excited,

flabbergasted,

thrilled

shocked

amazed,

honored

to have my quilt selected.

After completing a stack of documents I made preparations to ship them and my quilt to Rayna. For 6+ months my quilt was in the possession of the publisher. Late in March of this year Rayna returned my quilt.

Part of our agreement was to keep the book and our arrangement quiet. Refraining from discussion was difficult. Each time I sat down to write a post I thought about the quilt and it’s BIG NEWS.

In MotionFast forward to July 20, 2017…the day Rayna officially announced her book. This was also the first time I was given permission to share my BIG NEWS. While I would have liked to share it immediately, my summers are extremely busy. Finding time to write a post about anything is difficult. Thus, the extended delay. No matter how long it took to finally put these words into print the news is still relevant, still exciting.

I will receive a free copy of Rayna’s book as compensation for allowing her to include my quilt. I can’t wait to get my copy of Create Your Own Improv Quilts. The book will be in stores in December 2017. To pre-order a signed copy follow the link on her blog.

Well, that’s my Big News! Can you believe it!!! One of my quilts is actually going to be in a book! Stay tuned for updates.

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for sharing this link with me! WOWEEEEE – the quilting is fabulous. The quilt top alone is really nice but I couldn’t figure out the name until the next frame. I see just what you mean about it giving the whole flimsy a sense of movement. I will absolutely do this now – enough vacillating about it. I’d better get busy! And OMG – how exciting to be included in Rayna’s book!! ~smile~ Roseanne

Well, I had to keep you guessing! 🙂 I’m holding you to it. Next time I see the quilt I hope to see your beautiful chevron quilting. 🙂 Thank you for your compliments! I am excited to be in her book. One small step for me, and the very first time I’ve had the privilege! So proud! 🙂
